About

Professional summary

I am an ISTQB-certified QA Engineer with over seven years of experience designing scalable QA systems, automation frameworks, and integration testing strategies for distributed platforms.

I specialize in functional, integration, API, performance, security, and regression testing. I build practical automation solutions that improve release confidence, strengthen system stability, and reduce production defects.

I work with Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Appium, Maestro, Postman, and JMeter, and I use TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Java to develop and maintain automated test suites.

I have extensive experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Git. My work has helped teams reduce deployment time, shorten release cycles, increase test coverage, and improve platform reliability.

I have delivered QA for more than 30 projects across fintech, AI, transportation, mobile applications, blockchain, real estate, and enterprise solutions. I have also led distributed QA teams across seven countries and contributed to QA standards and best practices.

Beyond delivery work, I am a technical leader in the ST4Africa QA Community and a keynote speaker at APQEC 2025. I am committed to continuous testing, Agile quality practices, and building reliable software products.
